Description
The definitive work on how U.S. foreign policy is made, THE POLITICS OF UNITED STATES FOREIGN POLICY utilizes three levels of analysis demonstrating how government, society, and the historical-global environment impact the real world of politics and the policymaking process. Completely revised, updated, and condensed to integrate coverage of the George W. Bush Administration years, September 11th, the war on terror, and the Iraq War, this new edition blends substance, history, and theory in a lively narrative that is comprehensive, accessible, and informative. Chapters focus on significant topics such as the military, the intelligence community, foreign economic policymaking, civil liberties vs. national security, and the impact of electoral politics (such as the controversial 2000 presidential elections) on foreign policy. THE POLITICS OF UNITED STATES FOREIGN POLICY has been used throughout Europe and Asia as well as in such prestigious U.S. programs as the National War College, the Foreign Service Institute, and the U.S. Fulbright American Studies Institute on U.S. Foreign Policy, "It is really the best single source on all aspects of the policy process." -- Robert Soofer, Professor of National Security Strategy, National War College, Washington, D.C. "This is the single best textbook for one-stop shopping on the making of American foreign policy after 9/11, not just for American students, but for students around the world." -- Andrew Bennett, Professor of Government, Georgetown University and former Special Assistant to the Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs, Joseph S. Nye, Jr. The definitive work on how U.S. foreign policy is made, THE POLITICS OF UNITED STATES FOREIGN POLICY utilizes three levels of analysis demonstrating how government, society, and the historical-global environment impact the real world of politics and the policymaking process.
